This entire month flew by like a whirlwind, hence my lack of posts!
So allow me to play a little catch up. Right now, my main objective
is getting ready for my recital, which is less than three weeks away.
So needless to say, I’ll be pretty much hiding out in the practice cave
and putting the finishing touches on everything. On the program is the
Alwyn Sonata, Debussy Première Rhapsodie, Yadzinski Sirène, Muczynski Time Pieces, and Lovreglio/Verdi La Traviata Fantasia da Concerto. I am really excited, I can’t wait!
Gigs have been great, I’ve been playing with Monroe, Abilene, Midland-Odessa and even played on a friend’s ophicleide recital (you read that right). Behold one of the most awesome recital posters that I have ever seen:
Aside from gigs, I also took a trip to Colorado to take an audition. Even though I did not win, I still had a great time after the audition enjoying the sights around Denver.
I also took the opportunity to try out the “Phil Smith practice cave.”
This works really well for practicing in hotel rooms, especially if you
have to practice something that can really disrupt an entire floor
(ahem, Daphnis and Chloe).
I also had time to catch a recital by Paul Garner, Yuri Anshelevich,
and Gabriel Sanchez at the Dallas Museum of Art. They performed the Cello Sonata No. 2 in F major and the Trio in A minor. The recital is part of a series through the Fine Arts Chamber Players. On a non-musical note, I also ran the Rock ‘n Roll Dallas Half Marathon last weekend which was tons of fun!
Anyways, this practice break is over. Until next time!
